As a teenager I was a productive letter writer. One letter I wrote
1 .to56pages, and was 2 .of the extremely ordinary details (微不足道的事) of daily life. It could only have been of interest to me, and maybe, the receiver. But then, 3 , it might become attractive just because of the 4 details it recorded.
Official records of history-books and pictures--may record important events 5 they were always intended to have a large audience. 6 , letters tend not to be modified (修) , often true to 7 . They were, after all, 8 for just one pair of eyes.
Sadly, however, we don t write proper letters any more. Not only that, but, it's a fact that nowadays hardly anyone 9 to the letters they have receivedWe think only about 10 living and throwing things out. Who among us will leave any helpful papers for historians? In researching a book, I would never have found out that, in the late 19 th century, showy(花枝招展) waistcoats caused a lot of 11 , if I hadn't read the 12 . One fellow even wrote to a friend to say that if he were to ever meet a man wearing a kind of showy clothes he 13 shoot the man on sight.
What a 14 if such details were lost due to lack of letter writing and a little saving. I think we should all 15 to write at least one letter a month any try to 16 those we get.
17 good emails should be printed out and kept, too. Emails may not leave an example of our handwriting, but 18 they allow us to record our lives. Some years ago, a friend 19 me with a bundle of letters that I'd sent her since I was 16 . They gave a wonderful 20 of my teenage. History will need to know this, I'm sure.
It was three days before the opening of the Pirates(海盗)of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.Walt Disney was touring the 1 and suddenly felt strangely 2 .In his heart he felt th at something was 3 , although he wasn't quite sure 4 it was.He 5 as many employees as h e could find-including the repairing workers and food service people-and 6 them through a kind of inspection(检查)trip.
“Does it look right?”he asked.Yes, the clothes and scenes were 7 ; the buildings had been copied from the New Orleans French Quarter in Caribbean.
“Does it sound right?” Disney 8 the latest sound equipment installed(安装)in order to exactly 9 the sounds of music, voices, boats and even animals that you'd 10 to the Caribbean.Yes, it sounded right.
“Does it feel right?”He had controlled the temperature to perfectly 11 that of a New Orleans night.Yes, it felt right.
12 , something was still missing.“What is it?” Disney asked.
Finally, one of the young men who had been sweeping the floors said, “ 13 , Mr, Disney, I 14 up in the South, and what 15 me is that on summer night like this, there 16 be lightning bugs(虫子).”Disney's face 17 up.That, of course, was 18 !The young man was given a generous prize, and Disney actually had live lightning bugs 19 in to make his ride more real 20 he could figure out a way to imitate(模仿)them mechanically.
If you have a watch, don’t repair it! I know it 1 .Once I had a beautiful watch.And this watch 2 perfect time.But one night it happened that I forgot to 3 it up.Next morning I went to a watchmaker as I wanted my perfect watch to 4 by the exact time.The watchmaker examined my watch and said, “The regulator(校准器)is to be pushed up 5 your watch is four minutes 6 .”
I tried to stop him, tried to 7 him understand that my watch kept perfect time, but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.
My beautiful watch began to gain time.It 8 faster and faster day by day.By the end of the second month it 9 all the clocks and watches of the town far behind.
What did I have to do? To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated.I expected him to regulate the watch immediately 10 he asked me to come in a week’s time.When at last I took my watch from him it began to 11 down.And I began to be late for trains, business appointments and even missed my dinners.
Now I went to 12 watchmaker.While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he 13 it to pieces and said that he could finish this work 14 three or four days.I could do nothing but 15 .That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped.
So I kept 16 my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time.
And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not 17 the time by my watch.The thing was getting 18 .My watch had 19 two hundred dollars originally but I paid for repairs more than two hundred.At last I decided to buy 20 watch, which I did.
